War Of The Worlds

Well ... a new day has dawned ... the moon did not turn red last night nor did the streets run with blood (that I'm aware of) so I think it's safe to say that we've, thus far, avoided a cataclysm of epic proportions -- so obviously Katie Holmesdid not actually give birth to Tom Cruise's child because we'd all be dead by now, right?

;)

Here is the official press release that came from the TomKat camp announcing the birth of baby Suri:

They "joyously" welcomed the arrival of the baby girl? Can you do that while being silent? [Source]

So ... okay ... now we have to pin our planet's salvation upon the epic struggle that is sure to come between the babies of Brooke Shields (Planet Earth) and Tom Cruise (Planet Crazy):

YAY TEAM GRIER! We're all counting on you ...

But seriously, I suspect that it won't be long before we get to see actual pictures of these little miracles ... we all know how much TomKat love whatever media attention they can get ... I wouldn't be surprised if we got our first glimpse of Suri by the time the tabloids go to press this weekend ... and expect the jokes to keep on going strong.

One last bit of Tom Cruise news, homie is on the cover of Magazine magazine lookin' all serious and stuff:

So the TomKat spawn has finally graced us with her presence ... and now we focus our full attention on the impending birth of baby Jolie-Pitt ... here are newish pictures of Angelina and Maddox hiding out in Namibia:

I think we've still got some time to wait for the Jolie-Pitt baby ... Angelina doesn't look as big as Katie was ... she still has lots of time for that last minute shoe shopping. [Source]

Prada threw a little shindig yesterday at their Prada Soho Epicenter store in NYC to celebrate the opening of The Waist Down - Skirts by Miuccia Prada Exhibition and such luminaries as Lindsay Lohan and Iman were on hand for the party:

"I'll tell you how I knew my marriage was over: I was told.", "I don't pretend to understand Joe. I don't know if he ever liked me. To this day I couldn't say. It was painful. Do I think Joe drove a rift between us? No. Was he an influence in our marriage? Absolutely."-- Nick Lachey is spillin' deets on how things went down with his marriage.

David and I spent the afternoon doing some shopping even tho I didn't buy a thing ... which is odd because I usually never not find something that I want to buy. We did a lot of walking and managed to run into Pink readers Stephanie and Doug while we were out and about.

We were actually in Times Square yesterday evening when we heard about the "birth" of TomKat's baby so that is why I was only able to write that tiny post from an internet kiosk in Times Square. It's all good tho ... we were having a blast.

David and I went to a preview showing of the new play The History Boys for our night's entertainment:

Generally I liked the show ... the story was well written and the actors were excellent. They did this thing using video for the scene transitions that I really didn't care for ... they were going for this 80's music video theme which I can appreciate but the screaming video became a bit obnoxious. That said, I really liked everything else about the show ... the boys were great characters and the teachers were superb. The story ended up in a place that I hadn't anticipated, which was a nice surprise. It took me a little while to care for the characters but by the midpoint I was engrossed by the tale kinda got lost in it. This show is smart and funny ... and the occasional singing wasn't half bad at all. I have to admit, I wouldn't have seen this show if we weren't invited to screen it but I am glad that I did ... it was well worth the time.

One last thing ... I've mentioned this before but I kinda want to reiterate what is going on with me and my personal life. Erik and I did break up about 2 months ago now. Honestly, we had been having problems for quite some time but it wasn't anything that I wanted to air publicly on the blog ... I didn't want to hurt his feelings and I didn't think it would be appropriate for our relationship's well-being. I did come to the conclusion that things weren't going to work out so the relationship ended. I was fortunate enough to meet David on my trip to Amsterdam and after things ended with Erik I came to NYC to get better acquainted with David. That's where I am now ... David and I are having a great time being with one another and we're moving forward. That's what's going on, y'all ... not that I expect the speculation to end but now you've heard it from me.

"Pink is the new Blog: Must Star Hazer -- Why This: Trent Vanegas may run the uproarious gossip roundup from his home outside Detroit, but he doesn't need proximity to make riotous observations about celebs -- often typed directly onto scary paparazzi photos." -- Entertainment Weekly

"Anyone looking for a case study in the convergence of homespun blog culture and market-driven mainstream media need look no further than pinkisthenewblog.com and its creator, Trent Vanegas ... It's Not Just a Blog, It's a Brand" -- The New York Times

"Finest use of Photoshop: Nothing escapes the keen eyes of Pink is the New Blog, which concerns itself with all types of celebrity lambasting, sartorial style included. Arrows point to flashes of errant celebrity panty; the blog's trademark pink stencil lettering announces "CHER COMES TO TOWN" over photos of a raven-haired Lindsay Lohan." -- The Village Voice

"[Pink is the new Blog] offers a hysterical, no-frills treasure trove of photos (enhanced like a football commentator, with arrows and play-by-play markings), gossip and a sweet bank of links directed to stories all over the Web. [The posts are] more like delicious dispatches each day. Vanegas is a concise writer but offers plenty of description to keep things interesting." -- The St. Petersburg Times

"The site has just blown up and a Pink mushroom cloud is expected to replace the smog above Hollywood any day now ... Now everyone who's anyone knows that pink is the new blog." -- URB magazine

"If you don't like having a chuckle at celebrity misfortunes or enjoy a good gossip about Britney's latest blunder, then you might want to refrain from visiting this site. This is our sort of gossip - the piss-taking, ass-shaking stuff that'll keep you coming back for more. A mix of scandal and send-up, hearsay and gossip, rumour and fact." -- NZgirl
